sony smart extension scrollable textview

Question

i'm trying the sonys add-on SDK 2.0 for sony smartwatch 2. I will develop some kinde of Messageviewer. Like the existing gmail App. It should show a list with messages (simple text, subject) and by selecting any item should be shown content viewer with header and text.

I created Sample project "SampleAdvancedControlExtension" which is almost that, what i want. I tried to create a new "ContentView" Control with following layout. The problem is, the Text is not scrollable, and i don't see any possibility to make the text scrollable. If i correctly do understand EXTRA_DATA_XML_LAYOUT, the ScrollView is not supported. But somehow the GMail app can scroll the content of eMail. How can they do that?

Thanks for any suggestions

Have you tried setting android:lines="5" and android:singleLine="false"?

see

Scroll is supported in the Notification extensions, that's where you're seeing it. Otherwise, don't bother with multi-line text views or the like, everything that doesn't fit the screen will simply be cut off.

Also, make sure you search StackOverflow before posting a new question, this question is the same as mine from one year ago, and it also has an "offical" answer from Sony Scrolling via SmartWatch control

I've made scrollable text by rendering it as a bitmap and then serving up chunks of the bitmap in a list: http://damianblog.com/2014/01/12/sw2-scrollable-text/
